Fun Fitness Fundraising in Newport Beach

 

Yoga, cycling classes, and group exercise are just examples of fast becoming essential types of fundraising events that people would love to engage in Newport beach. Many people are finding it is a great way to encourage others to promote health and to help other people by participating in these events.

For nonprofits looking to get the attention of their fundraising events, Coach Q’s military type of exercise would be a great one. His unique way of helping people with their physical health and for the Newport Beach American Legion makes him ideal.

Quentin Pullen was known as Coach “Q,” is one of the fitness instructors in Newport Beach. Coach Q’s strong background, including serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, you know you’ll be working up a sweat at any of his boot camps. His events like “ruck hike” (hitting the trail while carrying a backpack or “rucksack” made fitness enthusiasts more excited in participating in his activities.

Another type of charitable event that still deals with fitness in Newport Beach is Yoga. A well-known yoga studio in Newport Beach called Ra Yoga hosted a 90-day challenge called “Ra90/Ra For a Cause” back in the summer of 2017. Yogis were invited to choose a charity to represent, with donations going to nonprofits based on attendance by the students who signed up to represent them. Last year, Ra Yoga was able to donate over $3,000 to the selected charities. The event was so popular that it had become a tradition each summer.

Eager Anglers hooked on Newport’s coast

Many around the world still fish with the simple goal of bringing home something to feed their family, others choose to partake in the sport for the thrill of the catch, with the added perk of fresh fish to take home.

If you’re into fishing, Newport Beach offers a departure point for some of the best fishing in all of Southern California.

Freelance is one of the boats offering fishing trips through Davey’s Locker and can venture farther off the coast to places where different types of fish are waiting. Aside from fishing guests got a good chance of seeing whales and dolphins.

For the next level of fishing, an overnight experience is a great way to make sure you come home with plenty of bounty from the sea. Catches change depending on the season, but, in general, species found off the local coast include sand bass, rockfish, halibut, yellowtail, calico bass, bonito, and barracuda. During the right times of the year, when warm waters roll in, yellowfin tuna can be caught father out to sea.

Here are more details about fishing at Newport coast.

The Art of Letting Go

The Low Tide Aliens an all-female Newport Beach-based group, consist of Laura Wright, and her daughter Darla started when they came down to Newport Beach intending to surf. It was low tide at the time not an ideal time to surf. Instead of heading home, the duo picked up some sticks and started doodling in the sand. The pair completed just a few flowers that the first morning. Eventually Darla and cousins Mila Martin, 10, and Kaitlyn Butler, 12 joined the group. The all-female, Newport Beach-based group, started the project two years ago and have been making large-scale, colorful sand art on the beach near Newport Pier, typically on weekends whenever the tide is lowest, during new and full moons.

Eventually, After Laura and Darla’s first attempts, they started getting more creative on subsequent trips, developed from sticks to drumsticks and using string to create giant circles in the sand. Portraying Mandala design on the sand is their forte. Recently, the group has added nontoxic colored sand to set specific pieces apart and make things pop.

Ideally, the dimensions of each design vary, depending on how early the “aliens” get to the beach. In a perfect scenario, they have just two hours to work with—an hour before the tide is at its lowest, and an hour as it comes back up. Most of the time, an idea (generated the night before, during a sleepover) is enough.

Working right below the Newport Pier, anytime people stop to watch or take pictures, the team rallies them to jump in, grab a stick and help out. Spontaneous interaction and community involvement are at the root of what the aliens hope their artwork can accomplish, plus adding some unexpected beauty in the world. For instance, when a friend and neighbor approached Laura about doing a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the group jumped at the idea. Recently, a man commissioned the team to create a piece that aided him in proposing to his girlfriend (she said “yes”).

The Low Tide Aliens want to make their work as a surprise for people cruising around on the beach. You would first think that the aliens did it after seeing the artwork all by yourself at the beach. The Aliens usually go up on the pier to listen to what people have to say after with their masterpiece. People don’t have an idea that Aliens are in front of them, very happy and excited to hear what people can say about their masterpiece.

The Aliens is indeed an inspiration to people in Newport Beach despite their personal and busy schedule. Their artwork is about more than being present and making something pretty to brighten people’s day, especially on their family. It’s also a practice in letting go, in paying respect to the world we’re living. This kind of art needs courage, determination, patience and especially dedication knowing that your masterpiece could be washed away by the sea water moments later after finishing it.
